Boosting productivity with digital tech diffusion to strengthen EU's competitiveness and become a leader in AI innovation.

The EU’s approach to artificial intelligence centers on excellence and trust, aiming to boost research and industrial capacity while ensuring safety and fundamental rights.

The European AI Office is the centre of AI expertise across the EU. It plays a key role in implementing the AI Act - especially for general-purpose AI - fostering the development and use of trustworthy AI, and international cooperation.

General-purpose artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as ChatGPT, are quickly transforming the way AI systems are built and deployed. While these technologies are expected to bring huge benefits in the coming years, spurring innovation in many sectors, their disruptive nature raises policy questions around privacy and intellectual property rights, liability and accountability, and concerns about their potential to spread disinformation and misinformation. EU lawmakers need to strike a delicate balance between fostering the deployment of these technologies while making sure adequate safeguards are in place.

Generative AI (genAI) presents societies with tremendous benefits and promises of progress, but it also has the potential to cause harm in unexpected ways. Governments have asked the OECD to help them harness generative AI’s uses, risks and potential future evolutions.
